Getting Out The Ten Foot Pole To Talk About UFOs

If the Jeopardy category is “Topics Seldom Covered At BattleSwarm,” “What are UFOs?” is a pretty good answer. While I’ve occasionally done a post, for the most part those waters are too polluted by cranks, grifters and true believers (to the extent those categories are distinguishable) to give much credence to the idea that alien… Continue reading Getting Out The Ten Foot Pole To Talk About UFOs

Latest Microsoft Patch Fixes TEN Zero Day Exploits

“Patch Tuesday” is when Microsoft (and other software companies) regularly release patches for their software on the second Tuesday of a month. A “zero day exploit” is a serious, previously undisclosed security flaw in a shipping piece of software. Not every Patch Tuesday includes a zero day fix, and sometimes the release only fixes one… Continue reading Latest Microsoft Patch Fixes TEN Zero Day Exploits

Another Texas Sales Tax Holiday Starts Tomorrow

Another sales tax holiday, this one for back-to-school, starts tomorrow, August 9th. The Comptroller encourages all taxpayers to support Texas businesses while saving money on tax-free purchases of most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks (sold for less than $100) during the annual Tax-Free weekend.

The Joe Biden Experience

This video is almost genius in its simplicity: Joe Biden as Joe Rogan, interviewing Joe Biden, all populated exclusively with actual Biden audio. I’m not going to do a blow-by-blow recap, since the video is short and you’ll probably recognize most or all of the snippets.

Supreme Court Shuts Down Another Democrat Election Fraud Vector

In many states, Democrats can’t win unless they cheat, and that’s why they want easily-abused universal mail-in voting to become to the norm. To that end, Democrats sued Texas (yet again) over mail-in voting limitations, and once again their lawsuit against election security laws was denied by the Supreme Court. An attempt to revive the… Continue reading Supreme Court Shuts Down Another Democrat Election Fraud Vector

Tab Clearing For April 6, 2024

A small handful of links that either didn’t make yesterday’s LinkSwarm, or weren’t quite right for it. Why young men have checked out. A rant with a measure of truth: “What’s going on with white males between 18-25?!” pic.twitter.com/k3Xz40Ki3A — The Redheaded libertarian (@TRHLofficial) March 29, 2024 I was particularly struck by the phrase “fundamentally… Continue reading Tab Clearing For April 6, 2024

Did Facebook Run A Man-in-The-Middle Hack Against Competitors?

Newly unsealed court documents accuse Facebook of running a man-in-the-middle attack against several competitors. At the request of CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook officials developed a program called In-App Action Panel (IAAP) that they deployed in 2016 and which was in use through mid-2019, according to the documents, which include internal emails. The program utilized cyberattacks… Continue reading Did Facebook Run A Man-in-The-Middle Hack Against Competitors?

NYC’s Illegal Alien Debit Card Scam

There’s a scam sweeping New York City. And by “New York City,” I mean “the New York City mayor’s office.” Instead of feeding the illegal aliens New York has lured there as a “sanctuary city,” Eric Adams has decided to just hand out preloaded debit cards. These are theoretically to replace buying food for them.… Continue reading NYC’s Illegal Alien Debit Card Scam

Texas Election Roundup For February 28, 2024

I hadn’t intended to use so much of this week talking about Texas elections, but a lot of news is dropping and the primary looms next week, so let’s tuck in: Vegas bets on Dade Phelan. After mainly remaining on the sidelines ahead of the primary, casino companies seeking to turn Texas into a piggy… Continue reading Texas Election Roundup For February 28, 2024
